Should I ask for a raise?

A friend told me he found out he was being significantly underpaid, he went to management and said he'd walk if he didn't get a raise, and he did. Not an insignificant raise, either. He has no reason to lie to me. Now I'm considering doing the same... — read more

Not meant to be Kool-aid

I'm disappointed in the new JD leadership and am very disgusted. However, I watched the HBOMAX show on Kobe and it made me think. Nike can pay, treat and disregard employees, but if Nike went back to the campaign around all athletes regardless of... — read more

How big will the layoffs be?

Given my age, I’m worried. The market is hot but when you are older and it is not easy to find an acceptable alternative. I have been trying for several months without success. Does anyone know how big the cuts will be, if they occur at all? I still... — read more 

Nothing to do or overwhelmed with work?

In my many years of work here, I have never been less busy. That worries me a bit because I wouldn’t like to lose my job at this point. On the other hand, some colleagues say they are overwhelmed with work. As weird as it sounds, I hope to be... — read more 

Wait until September or go?

Any tentative return to office date?

Help - NA Culture

Is anyone else feeling like the culture in NA is in a rough spot? Lots of negativity, not really a learning culture. Anyone else having the same experience? Are other areas of the org more positive?

Leaving Nike...

Are you having a hard time deciding to leave Nike, even though it's not great here? How careful are you when looking for a new job? I had big illusions when I applied for a job here, but I quickly realized that this is not exactly the company I... — read more 

ICC india taking over?

Work in technology. Noticing when contractors resign or FTEs, instead of creating new FTE for current ETWs to move up into. It seems management already has another ICC worker on deck ready to go. I guess that's the future of Nike it seems. No point... — read more

I just hit my 10 year mark and I’m now entitled for a 5 week sabbatical. I’ve heard of teammates splitting up the sabbatical into 2 - taking 2.5 weeks of company paid first at one go and taking the remaining the other 2.5 weeks a couple months down... — read more 

Is Nike really that stingy??

When can expect clarification?

So they really are going to lease out parts of campus?!?!? This seems so dang d-mb, but with remote/hybrid who the heck knows. Or is this like the start of leaving Oregon?

Never work as an ETW

The one rule at Nike "Never work as a ETW" 20 some years ago they let my entire project team go after the week prior telling us we are good for the next year. I am a FTE now but only because for many years I turned down opportunity to be a ETW... — read more 

Nike is competing with ex Nike employees

A close colleague who recently went to a competing company contacted me with a message that there are a lot of former Nike employees there, and those who were the best at what they do. What has Nike become? A talent nursery? I think the company... — read more 

mask mandate indoors ( Joe's email)

Looks like I'm applying for other jobs outside of Nike now.. The idea of wearing mask 8 hours at work in a cubicle or desk doesn't seem to appealing to me. Not sure about everyone else??? It's already bad enough to have to wear one on a commercial... — read more 

Can Nike still attract top talent?

In place of my colleague, whom they tried to get rid off in various ways and make him leave on his own, came a person who is neither half interested in the job nor talented. A colleague who used to do that job found a job in another company without... — read more 

Strategy at Nike

The strategy function at Nike is a disgrace. So many nefarious things go on in that department that Nike turns a blind eye to because they work with leadership at the highest level. After being in that department for many, many years I can say that... — read more

Blacklisted

Anyone have insight on why some people get blacklisted after working for Nike and are unable to get any other jobs with the company? It seems like it’s random. I know a few people that left on good terms, were great at their jobs and can’t get an... — read more 

Short term play?

What caused the Nike's best quarter ever and do you think it will be repeated? Not to sound like sour grapes or anything, but is it the result of the company’s brilliant and thoughtful strategy or is one of the primary reasons Nike has had great... — read more 

I'm staying put

All I know is that I’ve put in more than 20 years and I’m in a position that I don’t like but I choose not to quit because I’ve got a decent nest egg to retire on and skills that earn me more than just a “decent living”. I’m less than 8 years from... — read more 

Nike’s stance on remote work is an unforced error

Like others I know I’m currently pursuing 100% remote work opportunities at other companies. I figure if I have to work 40 hours per week I’m going to do that where I’m most comfortable working (in my own home) and in a manner that best works for my... — read more

Remote

With the push to India, there is a good argument that Nike is already doing async remote work. I have easily 50% non Nike city ETWs in my part of the org who will never go in to the office when it reopens. What policies do you see taking root wrt... — read more

There is a method

I love how people keep saying there's no rhyme or reason to layoffs at Nike. There is definitely a method, it is just not the one that makes any sense to us. And they sure as he-l are not going to share it with us. What makes no sense to us, makes... — read more
